Help :cry: My plants are getting too tall and they haven't started to flower yet. this time last year they were budding nicely and never went more than 3' tall. I need them to stop growing tall, is there any way to do this with out harming them? Is there a way to force flowering?

Thanks for your help

Plants are too big??? I wish we all had that problem. I assume there is some issue with keeping them hidden, so that is understandable. If they are in pots you can bring them indoors to try and force. If not then you are at the mercy of mother nature.

Are you growing the same strain as last year? That could be the reason for a the difference you are seeing...

if you do this u dont cover for 12 hours you cover for a couple hours before dark how many ever to make 12/12 and take it off when it becomes dark out ... if u leave on for 12 hours you will kill your plant ... .. but if there getting to big i would look into lst them .. and let them flower on there own as it wont be long..

thanks for the replies. Im going to try to do the trashbag thing for a few hours a night til they flower. I am trying to keep them hidden since my neighbors are super anti-weed and will most likely call the law if they see the plants. I do have them in pots and for some reason they are much stronger smelling than last years and my hubby complained within 20 minuted of bringing them in the house, haha! Thanks again guys. I topped them 2 weeks ago and they are twice as big!

tie then down so they sit at a 90 degree angle. You will get more light to the lower budsights and they will be less than a foot tall from the pot. All side branches become mains too, and yield will increase. start training them gradually, so not to stress them. get some dogshit or something to keep the neighbors off the scent.

Hello Kpro-
Here's an idea. I read a thread where a guy tied white plastic flowers (any color will work) all over his plant so the neighbors would think it was some kind of an ornamental bush. From afar i can see this working. It dosen't take care of the oder issues though.
Read another thread, when the grower added molasses to his plants it changed the smell, and toned it way down too. Another grower responded to that thread, his responce was; this was his 1st year using molasses and couldn't figure out why his didn;t smell as bad as last years crop.
Know he know why!

Good luck
